It must be stated at the outset of this article that the expectation in 2012 of any singular event could very well lead to complete disappointment. None of us know for certain what will happen in the years to come, especially the specific date of 12-21-2012, as the future is yet to occur. I try to approach this great mystery of 2012 with an open yet discriminating mind, open to possible scenarios yet discriminating and requiring evidence. That being said, it is obvious that right now is a time of radical transformation, and society is subconsciously gearing up for a "Shift of the Ages," a moment when the Zeitgeist, the spirit of our time, shifts to a higher pattern. Many are coming forward to proclaim "The End of the World," and they point to the Maya themselves as stating the end is coming. But the fact remains that the Maya encoded the ending of one 13baktun calendar cycle and a new beginning, what they called "Creation Day." This is not the "End of the World" being solicited in the main stream media, a guarantee that doom, tumultuous changes, and a turmoil ridden future lies ahead; they are using the tried and true application of fear to make money, and it is very reasonable that this fear is in place, for events could be very dire, yet we have to approach this moment in history with the poise and watchfulness of the spiritual warrior.
Although mankind has traversed the evolutionary gap between the savage rain forest and the modern civilized city, it now sits in a very alarming situation; it now faces a bifurcation point in the evolutionary path it has trod thus far. This unavoidable fork in the road will lead us either down the path of destruction and decimation, or we will be impelled down the evolutionary channels toward enlightenment and liberation, freeing ourselves from the entropic grip of materiality and the thralldom of our everyday world. This is a very novel predicament for humanity, one it has never seen before, a moment a planet brings forth only once in its' lifetime. This razor's edge that we are teetering on is fast becoming a slippery slope, and the global operational systems are careening out of control. On the one hand, we have reached a monumental moment in which all indicators point to the fact that we are approaching a quantum leap in our evolutionary trek, a rapturous instant in which our species' evolution shifts to a higher, unimaginable level of functionality; however, on the other hand, the global situation looks very grim, and certain actualities could create a situation where our existential being is subjected to harsh realities, realities that are the consequence of what we started long ago in history. This situation is building up more and more pressure and is working its' way toward a breaking point. Because of humanity's selfish and disharmonious behavior, we have created a situation that looks fairly dire and dreadful for our species, yet the contradictory is also true; never before has the human race been so perfectly poised so as to initiate a whole series of evolutionary steps that could precede a Utopian civilization.
Mankind has never found himself at a crossroads of such magnitude, a bifurcation point that will change the course of history. Nevertheless, that is no excuse for a botched job in the grave matter at hand; it is crucial to our survival that we get it right! That sounds like a paramount amount of pressure and will require an impeccable discipline; indeed, this is intense pressure, and this rite of passage requires utilizing a higher more disciplined order for quelling the more primitive behaviors that will only guarantee our demise. An immense amount of cooperation and compassion is required to get us passed the inhospitable situation before us. It is vital that we quickly get a clue and start doing what we know we need to do, yesterday and not tomorrow, before our tenuous grip on reality quickly slips away, and we tumble erroneously down the path of failed attempts. No, this will not do! If we really want to make it through this perilous passageway in the hallway of history, then we need to quickly wake up, come to our senses, and merge our scientific world view and knowhow with a true ecumenical spiritual paradigm founded upon ethics, thereby placing well meaning attention and focus on the problems at hand. A merging of these two worlds could help create the impetus for us to form a true global community where the "Good of the All" is sought out for the "Good of the All" by all our individual talents.
Modern man throughout the twentieth century was coming to terms with his theological and scientific paradigms, and in the last decade of that century s/he saw an intensification of the integration of these two worlds; the true philosopher's stone, the stone of the wise, was condensing from the merging of these two paradigmatic systems. This new paradigm of thought was synthesized in a dialectical process where the thesis and antithesis were merged, the worlds of theology and science, and it is now informing the morphogenetic fields that rule social behavior all over our planet. These fields order our behavior through the process of morphic resonance, whereby our thoughts and emotions are in sync with the planetary mind, and our mind then follows suit. These global morphogenetic fields of humanity have been called many names: the collective unconscious, the genetic archives, the akashic records, and the phylogenetic unconscious. At any rate, this morphogenetic field that humanity resonates with is a sphere of thought surrounding the planet, and the synergistic tendencies of the information couplings within those fields are gearing up for and catalyzing a transformational shift to a whole new order of being. In the notions of the French priest and paleontologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the biosphere, nature, will give rise to and exude the noosphere, a global layer of thought, the informational synergy of which will actualize the Omega Point into being. This will usher in a new paradigm, a transcendence for all of humanity. It is interesting to note that Teilhard came to his realizations long before the global network of the Internet; therefore, many philosophers consider the internet to be the hardwiring of the noosphere.
The unrelenting questions of what will happen consistently assail the mind. Will we make it through the turmoil to see ourselves basking in the sunlight of enlightenment? Or will we destroy ourselves in some apparent need for defense or through retaliation? Will the Biosphere continue supporting our species when it is being decimated daily? Will we experience some major geological changes as a consequence of our relationship with the sun? Will our technology birth the next level of our evolution? Will the Gaian Mind, which appears to be the source of crop circles, bring us a further revelation of our place in the cosmos? Can a multitude of these events occur? This intense inquisitiveness will not be abated within me, and sadly, I'm afraid that the answers that have presented themselves are both appealing and disturbing, creating further vexing enigmas. So, what we are facing is manifold and many-sided; one singular event does not take the whole happening into consideration. Does this time of devastation and/or enlightenment have anything to do with 2012 as many have foretold?
What we are facing is both good and bad, in my opinion; one model of our future does not contain the entirety of that happenstance. It is multifaceted and diverse, but our mammalian brain seeks to create black and white scenarios out of the mysteries before us, seeking to simplify the unknown and fearful into nice little models of what we are moving into. But there is no way that what we are facing could be all black or all white; it is indeed both. The concrescence of novelty, the eschaton, will be an infinitely novel situation and contain both the good and the bad! As the universe becomes more complex and ramified, as more novelty accrues, then we can expect the intensity of those novel forms and events to increase; the novelty of both the black and the white will intensify in its' influence upon our lives. Therefore, it is understandable that the most horrid will occur alongside of the most divine in our shared, global future.
So, what kind of things could we be facing in 2012 or beyond? What are the tenable possibilities on our global horizon? Let's first look at the negative occurrences facing our global civilization, and then we will discuss the positive effects which also appear to be breaking through into our society. These doom ridden scenarios are things that, if they were to occur, would affect our global future and life as we know it in a radical way. These possibilities are things we definitely need to be considering as we move ahead.
Humanity is in a very precarious situation; never before have so many mounting crisis points been converging together. I'm no doomsayer, but if you remove yourself from the group mind with its aversion to the facts at hand, and you take a good look at what is about to transpire, then you can't help but be white-knuckled and fearful of the future. But this fear is not at all what we need, if reality is truly affected by our minds as scientific studies are beginning to bear out. The following situations "Could" transpire in the years to decades ahead; they are not necessarily slated to occur in 2012!
The increased complexity and convoluted nature of our global civilization has made the threat of a pandemic a much more conceivable situation. A virus could be transferred to many areas of the world through our transportation grid in a very short period of time, and an all out pandemic could be actualized in a matter of weeks. When asked about a near future, foreseeable pandemic, doctors say it's a matter of "when" not "if" one breaks out. In the last 30 years we saw the introduction of many new biological threats: AIDS, SARS, West Nile, and now the Avian Flu, and these are threats that we must take seriously. When will this speculative disaster occur? It is uncertain, but scientists are very concerned about the possibility of a major unstoppable pandemic in the near future.
A pandemic is just one possibility on the shelf of global, future threats. In addition, we have the Geo-Political environment, a motley crew of a makeup with each component striving for dominance on the world stage. It is one thing to agree to disagree with the other parties in the global arena; however, we now have radical terrorists, self proclaimed servants of God, who believe it is their God given duty to kill all those that will not convert to their way of thinking. It is hard to deal with these people in a rational manner, as their behavior elicits the very primitive instinct of seeking their utter destruction. In addition, we now have the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and they are now in the hands of some very fanatical and tyrannical leaders. It is easy to foresee and imagine that if the terrorists ignited a nuclear bomb in one of our cities due to their ideological insanity, then the civilized world could very easily retaliate, thereby sparking a nuclear tit-for-tat of all the countries involved. This is a very real possibility and something that MUST be avoided at all costs. Does that mean we should not retaliate if we were ever to be attacked with a nuclear bomb? Well, I am a warrior, and anyone trying to kill me, my family, my friends, or any of the citizens of my country should be very aware that there are many of us who will stand up and seek to destroy them utterly. But that being said, we need to be exceedingly careful not to spark a nuclear catastrophe, if that were to ever happen. Therefore, our retaliatory nature could pose a big problem as we move ahead, as we now live in a world where radical mentalities and terrorism exist.
Our global society is also facing major economic collapse as we move forward into subsequent periods of time. Our economic markets are so reliant on what occurs globally now, and the countries of the world have created such a deficit that some financial specialists say what we are facing is insurmountable; we are operating on borrowed time, and a huge spiral into economic collapse looks like an extremely conceivable scenario.
If those realistic threats weren't bad enough, the biosphere is being destroyed in so many aspects that it is barely possible to imagine. Researchers believe that the biosphere may become completely uninhabitable in just a couple centuries. The facts of man's destruction of the habitat that brought him forth are truly appalling and ghastly. We are decimating the rain forest by miles daily, the main source of the oxygen we breathe. Climate is changing as both the jet stream in the atmosphere and the gulf stream in the Atlantic are shifting. Our oceans are dying from pollution and over fishing, and many species are being wiped into extinction. Is this insanity? What are we doing to ourselves? The planet was never intended to support life for 6.5 billion people, and that population is only increasing daily. The facts of the matter make one wince when looking at all the details, creating a nauseating feeling in the pit of the stomach. The melting of the ice caps is occurring from a multitude of sources that are causing Global Warming. It is not just our fuel use causing global warming; it also has to do with natural cycles that revolve around the earth-sun connection. The melted ice will cause the sea levels to rise, obliterating the coastline and inundating us with water. This biosphere issue is definitely not something that will cause a global catastrophe in 2012, but it is an indication of where we find ourselves and the nature of our shared predicament. The operative word is "Shared," and we need to realize that all of us on the planet are in this boat together, and it has now begun to traverse the rapids and dangerous currents ahead.
Additionally, we have the sun-earth connection to be concerned about. The Sun's Coronal magnetic flux has increased 100% in the last century. Global Warming is partly caused by man and is also caused by the earth's relationship with the sun, and scientists say the sun has steadily become more active in the past several hundred years. It must be understood that when a Solar Flare or Coronal Mass Ejection occurs a wave of energy moves out in all directions, and when it impinges with a planet's magnetic field, the field contorts in reaction. This contortion shifts the Jet Stream creating climate change, and it also puts stress on the system of plate tectonics, causing an increased number of earthquakes and volcanoes. The last sunspot cycle ended with the two largest flares on record and the next major cycle is scheduled for 2012.
Now that we have discussed some of the sobering bad news about our future, and because I like to be the optimist even in the most drastic and horrid of situations, I think it is essential to relay the whole picture. Yes, things look very dire, but they also look most promising. Strides in science, medicine, government and technology are making major advances in ridding our species of the undesired effects of bad health, famine, poverty, or lack of any name. So, like I said, what we are moving into is both wonderful and horrid. It is a double-edged sword!
Science is making great progress, and a G.U.T., A Grand Unified Theory or a T.O.E., a Theory Of Everything, is within the grasp of humanity, giving us a true understanding of Space-Time and harnessing that understanding for benevolent and beneficial technologies, which we will use to find solutions to our present predicaments. A quantum leap in our evolution is apparently directly in front of us, if you consider the exponential explosion of technology. A technological singularity is going to occur; it cannot be avoided. Only one of the previously mentioned catastrophes could remove us from the course with the Technological Singularity. This Singularity will bring us technologies that will give us immense longevity and possible immortality! That was a fairly welcome surprise as we entered a new millennium, discovering we were facing this event. The exponential explosion of technology will remove many of the problems we have dealt with for thousands of years. For instance, nanotechnology will be used to control cholesterol and plaque within our arteries, thereby alleviating one of the major causes of death. The A.I. mind will know all our problems, and it will use intelligence a million times greater than man to find solutions and implement them in the moment.
Researchers are learning how much our mind is inextricably linked to the physical reality surrounding us, and with the advent of nanotechnology we will be able to create materially whatever we are visualizing mentally. Our science and spirituality are also no longer exclusive to each other, and the age old conflicts between the facts of science and our theological perspectives are dissolving and fading away. Our scientific investigations are showing us that the quantum vacuum, the zero-point-field, contains the informational blueprint for the way our reality forms itself. It is the reservoir for every occurrence that has ever happened in previous universes, universes that are iterations of the one multiverse; The zero-point-field is a non-local vacuum containing zero matter or energy but immense information that our universe uses as a guide to shape itself. This zero-point-field can be considered the mind of God, and now even most atheistic scientists realize that there is a higher dimensional information template from which our universe is formed. Also, our world's religions are beginning to loosen the constricting belt of literalism, and they are seeing the truths of both science and other faiths; a convergence between disparities is taking place, and integration is occurring on many levels.
So, we live in a time full of radical changes of both a qualitatively good and bad nature. The ancient seers knew that this exact period in time represented a period of catastrophic changes preceding a golden age. Most cultural traditions have some intimation of the times we are living in, whether it is Hindu, Hopi, Mayan, or many, many others, and they are all in basic agreement that a great purging, a cataclysmic time of change, will precede a golden age of enlightenment. The Mayans encoded 12-21-2012 into their calendrical system, and they pointed to that day for some reason. Hundreds of years later in the 1970s a hippie botanist, Terence McKenna, had a vision under the influence of Shamanic Power Plants, and he saw how to distill a timewave from the Ken Wa sequence of the I-Ching. This Timewave mapped the ingression of novelty into the universe, an organizing principle of ever increasing complexity upon which all of our reality is ordered. At any rate, he saw on the timewave that this nature of novelty hits a moment of infinite novelty, what is called the concrescence of novelty, at the same exact time that the Mayan Calendar cycle ends, December 21, 2012! So, this date has given itself over to the minds of a culture of people over a thousand years ago and then to a hippie botanist in the 1970s, a very strange synchronicity indeed! Then along comes Ervin Laszlo in 2006 stipulating that Chaos and Complexity Theory has shown how a huge bifurcation point in humanity's evolutionary trek occurs in late 2012. At the fork in the road, we either go the route of self destruction or the high road of enlightenment and liberation. Noting that Terence derived his timewave from the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, and also noting the congruency of those 64 Hexagrams with the 64 codons of DNA, the 64 bit structure of computer code, and the central 64 squares of a Tzolkin grid of the Mayan Calendar, then it can be surmised that a universal organizing principle is being perceived.
No one knows what will happen on December 21, 2012. Will it be Doomsday or the Omega Point, or both, or neither? One thing is for certain; now is a time of radical change, and both problems and innovations are creating a novel situation for a planet of 6.5 billion people. The biosphere is more decimated than it ever has been. The Sun more is active than in recent time and may cause some major geological changes. Our Technology has moved deep into exponential growth and is about to birth a singularity. Whatever happens, I am sure it will be a ride we will never forget!

The structure of the universe is composed in such a way so as to form a finely tuned and conducive environment for the crystallization of sentient life. This is an extremely rare occurrence that cannot be easily dismissed as a product of random mutation. Any scientifically minded person will readily tell you that life in our universe is so improbable that it might as well be impossible, but the fact that I am here writing this article is proof we have overcome this immense improbability. So, is there a blueprint to our universe, and has this blueprint seeded our reality to bring us forth?
Indeed, there appears to be a wisdom and plan to space-time that has created a delicately harmonized environment, formulating the sustenance that all life needs; it is as if some field of intelligence has seeded and fabricated this rare set of circumstances out of the ether.
Several scholars
have publicly speculated on these philosophical questions, notably scientists
Ervin Laszlo and Bernard Haisch. Both of these individuals have breathed the
mysterious breath of spirit back into the scientific and philosophical
underpinnings of cosmology, giving us a much, more radical interpretation of why
reality is the way it is. Physicists now know that the physical world we see
about us, full of its substantial things, is really just a compressed field of
empty space; the matter we see is a holographic crystallization of the Quantum
Vacuum, the Zero Point Field. Some even argue that physical reality is more of a
collective “thought” than an actual group of things. Some analysts contend that
the paradigm shift we are now facing is a complete bifurcation in the way we
work with and perceive that collective thought of reality, the way we deal with
space, time, and material objects.
This Zero Point Field seems to be the
mind of God, since this Vacuum,
according to physicists, is the substrate for
known reality and has brought everything into existence. In fact, our universe
and the way it operates is the expression of information seeded into the Zero
Point Field by previous creations, for our universe is only one creative
iteration of the Multiverse that left its imprint of success in the Zero Point
Field, thereby seeding our universe for a further evolution of that
success.
The first scripture in Genesis where God creates light before even the sun, the source of light, now makes much more scientific sense, because the Zero Point Field is a sea of imperceptible light in which our finite world of matter floats; it is the light from which all things come into existence in finite reality and into which they return when they complete their cycle of existence. This light sounds nearly identical to the Ain Soph Aur, the light of the Kabbalists that precedes creation and from which their “Tree of Life” manifests.
Everything we do or say leaves a permanent imprint on the Zero Point Field, a residual inference pattern on the holographic fabric of reality. This explains how and why paranormal abilities, such as psychic powers, work so well; the psychic has learned how to tune into the information of the Zero Point Field, both the past and the future. In any non-local field, like the Quantum Vacuum, past and future are illusions, and everything is happening in the now of the eternal.
This information makes the idea of Karma and Jesus' words, “As you sow, so shall you reap” all the more relevant, for everything we do leaves a permanent imprint on the Quantum Vacuum and will continue to effect reality going forward. Consequently, cleaning up one's karma and leading a cleaner existence would in essence be attempting to lessen any negative swirl you put into the ethers and trying to rectify any negativity you added to our shared global experience. When you stop and think about how permanent our actions and words are, it makes one realize how eternal the strokes of our paintbrush are to the canvas of life.
This also explains why the love and wisdom one feels from the divine seems so eternal, for it is. It goes back universe after universe to the very beginning, if there was a beginning. Many orthodox theologians claim that God does not evolve, for he is pure perfection, and maybe they are right. Nevertheless, the universes that come forth from the Zero Point Field are evolving and imprinting their own successes back on to that very field, so in a way the divine mind of creation, God, is evolving. Therefore, this is not the only reality that has ever existed; it is merely one universe among countless spawned from the eternal Multiverse that imprints all information on the Quantum Vacuum, the Zero Point Field, the Mind of God.

“The Elohim(of genesis) said let us create man in our image. Male and female they created them.” Elohim is properly translated as “the gods.” The image of the gods? What could this possibly mean? It is believed that the first chapter of Genesis depicts the creation of the entire universe, as explicated by the Kabbalah, by the one true creator god. When finished, the universe was complete, with wild life and hunter-gather humans populating the earth. However, the second and third chapter represents a further evolution of what God had created by a forced progression of the humans on Earth by “the gods.” It is not a recap of the first chapter, as many orthodox Christians would have you ridiculously believe. It is a description of our further creation as modern civilized humanity by an extra-terrestrial race of advanced humans, an outside intervention in our evolution. They descended to our planet and created from the hunter-gather man roaming the Earth an entity in their own image, by placing their own DNA inside us, creating the known modern Homo Sapien Sapiens; they then, starting in 3000 B.C.E. focused on 6 key locations around the globe and taught mankind civilization and agriculture. And speaking of the Bible, who were the sons of God who found the daughters of men fair and bore the Nephilim by them? Sounds like an extra-terrestrial race to me! How could a numinous God mate with women? It would take physical beings to do that!
All these accounts are echoed in the Sumerian creation myth, the Enuma Elish, where it states that an extra-terrestrial race of advanced humans, the Annunaki, descended from the stars and created man from their own DNA and taught them all the different advanced
knowledge that the Sumerians are popularly known for having created for themselves. Although, the Sumerians never take personal credit for their advanced knowledge, but instead, they claim it was taught to them by the gods.
If one stops and ponders that starting about 3000 B.C.E. six cultures on a globe of hunter gathers, suddenly sprung up with an advanced understanding of mathematics, astronomy, agriculture and it's concomitant complex system of irrigation, the written word, arts and aesthetics, a system of laws, and a host of other advanced knowledge, then it becomes blatantly obvious that an outside agency of advanced extra-terrestrials intervened in our evolution and development in our distant past. How else could a race of hunter-gathers transform so quickly into the advanced civilizations that we know existed?
As I have said, this advanced race of humans lived among us and took us from hunter gathers to advanced agriculturalists in a very short period of time. As it says in the Bible, “we were cast from the garden to till the soil and toil with the sweat of our brow.” Three of these cultures developed and cultivated four crops that we still use to this day to feed ourselves, corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat. Not to mention, many of these cultures have a geodesic placement of pyramids, ones that our current architecture cannot replicate
to this day, even with all our advanced technology.
It must be remembered that the primitive cultures of the world evolved according to the way Social Darwinists and anthropologist would expect, that is primitive hunter-gathers living in a very primal state. However, it cannot account for the explosive growth of the several advanced cultures that sprang up and built our first cities. This is extremely anomalous behavior and does not accord with what social Darwinist and anthropologists would dictate. In some remote areas of the world, we still have primitive tribes that live as hunter-gathers and have evolved just as anthropologists would have expected. So, what happened in those other select areas of the world?
Advanced systems of knowledge take years to form and come to fruition. So how did these cultures, such as the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Olmecs, the Indus Valley inhabitants, the Mayans etc… gain their knowledge in such a short span of time? It is plain to see, an advanced race of extra-terrestrials taught these things to humans, and this is exactly what they claimed happened.
Realizing we have extra-terrestrial DNA and knowledge would explain the sudden rise to technological prominence we have attained in the last century and the beginning of this century. We have mapped the entire human genome and have a basic understanding of cloning; we have created a DNA computer, where a trillion of them can fit inside a test tube and perform billions of computations per second, and we have discovered the secrets of nuclear fusion and created nuclear weapons that can now destroy our entire planet. Not to mention, there are multitudes of other extra-terrestrial technologies we have invented. These facts make our enigmatic origins much more clear and concise.
The conspiracy theorists need to quit looking at the sky for any signs of E.T.s; they have already arrived and are all around us. In fact, they are us!

The entire human species is quickly approaching a quantum leap in our evolution. Every individual walking the face of the Earth is about to go through life changing events that will wake them up to a very strange new world. We are approaching a global rapture of unimaginable proportions, a translation into a higher dimension and a realization of a completely new paradigm.
Are we to witness the culmination point of human history? It appears as such, especially if we consider the fact that humans have made the evolutionary trek out of the jungle, built cities and populated them, manifesting a scientific and technological progress advancing toward exponential growth and a technological singularity. Furthermore, scientists have now witnessed many anomalies occurring in our solar system and in our sun. These anomalies are the signal that our universe is in the process of synergizing and sending out evolution altering energy. This energy will bring many biological changes, which result in a new form of consciousness. Our evolution is tied to processes going on in the cosmos, and they are causing this incredible transmutation and preparing us for the next step. The human species has been progressing forward for millions of years and only now do we have the omega point within our grasp. By serendipity, it appears that we were born at a very opportune time and are gifted to witness this global awakening.
The seeds of divinity buried within each of us are growing to fruition and are now about to reveal our true essence. This global awakening will transform our society from a dystopian civilization to a utopian paradise. Many prophecies point to this time as a time of titanic change and monumental transformation. The culture of the Maya actually utilized a calendar with a termination point in the year 2012, a year that marks the end of this world and the beginning of a new one. What did the Maya see that made them choose 12-21-2012 as the termination point of their calendar? And more importantly, what can we do to ease our transition through this future rapture, this singular moment of radical transformation?
We must first understand that our individual thoughts and actions are creating a global mind or consciousness, the noosphere, a layer of thought that surrounds our planet and influences the course of events. Depending on whether we color this Noosphere with good or bad thoughts, we get the results of doom and apocalypse or a paradise and utopia. Our thoughts are real things and influence our reality; this being proven by research.
Scientists have now established that groups of people can affect reality with thoughts. They’ve witnesses groups slowing the coagulation of blood, speeding up the healing process, diminishing the formation of bacteria, and killing off hordes of locusts, all with focused thought at a distance. Just from this evidence alone, it’s obvious that thought can be used for good or bad effects. In addition, our collective psychic awareness appears to be tied to global events. This is evidenced by random number generators. These machines spew out patterns of digits in an otherwise random string of digits during the occurrence of global events, such as 9-11.
The future outcome of the planet is really up to each of us, individually. That sounds like an incredible amount of responsibility. It is! The fate of the world will be determined by your thoughts and your actions. Always know that every action you make or thought you have is either adding a brick to your Utopia or to your Dystopia.
We must also prepare. Preparation is a good thing; however, we can’t run around in fear preparing for the end of the world. We are an expression of the universal intent, and we will make the proper decisions at the proper times. If you are urged to do this or that, do it. Just make sure none of your decisions or actions are out of fear or any darkness. Fear and hatred beget fear and hatred. The best preparation one can do is to raise one’s vibration. In this way, you are becoming part of the small critical mass that will ultimately shift reality. Those in the upper echelons of control are trying to diminish who we are and lower our vibration. Consequently, learn the techniques to avert their attempts at diminishing your vibration and learn to raise it in spite of that. And always know you were created by the highest and are inherently part of the divinity that created us. We are divine creatures in our infancy in the process of awakening to who we really are.
There is really nothing to be concerned about; all will happen as it is suppose to. We are experiencing a cosmic program in the process of unfolding. This is our destiny, and we are integral actors in this global drama. Therefore, get ready for a whole new reality as we move into this “Shift!”

During the second half of the twentieth century, science and spirituality began moving toward each other in perspective and sharing many of the same ideas. The battle between evolutionists and creationists was leading to the dawning of a new spirituality that utilized scientific fact. It was as if the logical side of humans, which had divorced itself from the intuitive and creative side during the birth of science, started recently allowing a deeper intuitive pattern to invade the space of logic and rationality. The mystic and the scientist were philosophically merging into one being. Could this be the long awaited dawn of the Age of Aquarius?... an age where thought and emotion are married together in a supreme act of symphony. It was a shift to a completely new paradigm of understanding about our reality and our place within it…..a new awakening…..a modern day Renaissance.
Ancient forms of wisdom have been describing cosmological processes in a way that modern physics is now confirming; that is, they both agree on the origin of our universe and its infantile form. In the sacred Kabbalah, it states that reality sprang forth from a singularity, Kether; modern physicists also concur about the origin of our universe from a singularity during the big bang. One of our sacred wisdom schools had the blueprint for creation all along. We just had to wait for our scientific know-how to catch up to balance this intuitive wisdom with logic. Furthermore, many superstring theorists describe our reality as comprising 11 dimensions, just like the eleven “sephira” or dimensions of the “Tree of Life” in the Kabbalah. The sync between ancient wisdom teachings and modern science is now becoming very pervasive. Several books come to mind that do a great job of merging modern physics and spirituality- “Dancing with the Wu Ling Masters” by Gary Zukav, “The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra, and “The Mind of God” by Paul Davies. Each is an excellent source for the marriage of modern science with spiritual wisdom. By experiencing many of these viewpoints, we begin to see how a whole new paradigm of perspective is synthesizing out of the divergent viewpoints of science and spirituality.
It’s not hard to understand why the scientific worldview is so cold and devoid of any kind of spiritual ideology. Two discoveries that occurred within the last 120 years became the death knell for any kind of optimism about the human experience or any kind of spirituality within the scientific standpoint. The first was Charles Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection, and the other was Albert Einstein’s Second Law of Thermodynamics. Natural Selection stipulated that we came from lower species and have evolved over long periods of time to get to our present stage of evolution. This seemingly ended all questions about any possibility of a creation by God, since it appeared that we were just the result of random mutations. That we evolved from apes and lower species seemed obvious; consequently, most scientists concluded that there could never have been a divine intelligence or creation, and we are just the product of random happenstance. On top of that, the Second Law of Thermodynamics of Einstein clearly made matters seem even darker. It basically stipulated, as the universe ages, it gains disorder and will eventually snuff itself out in a final heat-death. This is the final collapse of space-time, also known as the “Big-Crunch.” This basically said mankind was headed for doom without any choice for our long term survival. These two early discoveries seemingly painted a very dismal picture for the human condition, and science, consequently, pronounced God dead.
Despite this development, two scientists came forth to forecast the eventual enlightenment of humanity in a converging Omega Point. The first appeared in the early twentieth century, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. He was a paleontologist by profession and also a Jesuit Priest, an intriguing marriage of the intuitive and logical side of man. He surmised that our current evolutionary tract will terminate in an Omega Point. In his belief, we will achieve complete immortality and unity with God in this singularity. Teilhard believed the earth’s layer of life, the biosphere, is extruding a layer of networked global thought, the noosphere. This is apparently manifesting at the present time through our global computer networks. This noosphere is what will evolve towards the ever unified Omega Point. Therefore, both evolution and creationism are actually correct. The Creator was creating evolution!
The modern physicist and cosmologist, Dr. Frank Tipler , believes that life will eventually be replicated in an future Omega Point of transcendence. He believes that we will eventually construct a quantum computer that will control the final collapse of space-time, nullifying the doom-ridden “Big Crunch.” He equates this Omega Point/Computer with God, and he says that everyone who has ever lived will be resurrected in it to live a life of eternal bliss. It must be noted; however, Tipler arrived at his notions only through the complete scientific method. He never forced the evidence to fit the theory. In the ultimate irony, Dr. Tipler lived a large portion of his life as an avowed atheist; it is only through his scientific discoveries that he now claims a theological perspective.
One need only take a look at the physical world around us to see the handiwork of a higher mind, for it is very apparent in the intelligent design of our universe. Also, the chance of conditions being right for life by randomness alone is very improbable. The probability of it happening by chance is
1 in 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000!
Chaos theorists have speculated for years that our apparent random universe is in actuality a form of higher order, an order that manifests through our chaos and apparent randomness. Furthermore, the occurrence ofthe number “phi,” 1.618, throughout our universe is a manifestation of the intelligent design of our cosmos. “The Golden Ratio”, “the phi ratio”, manifests in everything from bumble bees, teeth, and shells to our concepts of beauty, the formation of our body, and the composition of our galaxies. This intricate order woven throughout our known universe is an indication of a higher intelligence; it is incontrovertible evidence of a higher mind behind much of our creation.
There are many other great examples of our physical world exhibiting evidence of a higher mind and scientists who have included spirituality into their perspective. Suffice it to say, the opposing viewpoints of science and spirituality have begun to find harmony in existence with one another, especially in the view of many of today’s free-thinkers. No longer is it impossible to back up the idea of heaven with hard logical data or to imbue your scientific perspective with spiritual insight. The disparate perspectives of science and spirituality have managed to fuse themselves together and generate a paradigm shift to a whole new level of understanding.
